We were passing through and read the reviews. The sushi chef greeted us with a hearty "Hello" as we came through the door. Great sushi and very reasonably priced. The restaurant had plenty of customers and yet we received good, fast service. We ordered four kinds of sushi--Tillamook Philly with fresh salmon,green onion and cream cheese, The Bend with spicy tuna mix, spicy mayo and unagi sauce, Super Crispy, their most popular, with tempura shrimp, crab, spicy tuna mix and unagi sauce, and Yummy with jalapeno fireball--jalapeno stuffed with spicy salmon mix and unagi sauce. It was fabulous. The only thing is that these are large two bite sushis, so it can get a bit messy. If we are ever in Bend again, we will definitely return. read more

The sushi was delicious, the sake was cold and yummy and the meal was very reasonably priced. Home run!

This is my 3 time here. All 3 times have been bad. Today I had bento box and soup. Old hard chicken and cold soup. Matt the "manager" had made no effort to correct this problem . They have gone downhill fast.Do not wast your money here. read more

Being a Seattle guy i was absolutely Blown away by the quality and freshness of the sushi here. Ordered the salmon and tuna donburi and it was amazing. The fish was expertly sliced to a perfect thickness and flesh pattern. This will be a must go if I'm ever back in Bend. read more

Shinsei Sushi has not disappointed me. Always seem to have fresh sashimi and their nigiri always has little rice and large fish!!! Make sure you check-in with Yelp to get a free appetizer :) read more

Our Favorite Sushi in Bend. Always super high quality fresh fish. Affordable prices for such good ingredients. They drive it over from the Fish Markets in Portland every other day. Never had a bad meal at this restaurant. Family friendly and always good attitudes from the wait staff. read more

My favorite sushi spot in Bend. Welcoming, bright environment. Fresh sushi. We have a few go to rolls but try to mix it up to taste everything. Nothing disappoints Their fried green tee ice cream is to die for!! read more

Food is great but service is awful! Lots of staff standing around talking and not taking orders or checking on tables.

The name of the game here is consistent, we have eaten here several times and it has always been a 5 star restaurant. The food, the emloyees , and and the general dining feel are all top notch. read more

BEST PLACE TO GET SUSHI!!! I am not a fan of sushi, but it was really good here very fresh. Great service and good prices! We will definitely be back!!! read more

We ordered Ramen and curry today. Curry is so so. Seriously to say it still has lots of space to improve. As to Ramen, we respond that the noodles taste like "instant noodles" actually it is really instant noodles. Although they didn't charge that Ramen finally, we cannot accept what reasons they explain. They told the Japanese Ramen noodles in the market tastes not good (so instant noodles will be better?). The worst is they mentioned there are some good dishes and not good dishes in each restaurant. They are good at Sushi. And we shall ask for their recommendation before ordering. read more

Delicious! The manager did a great job helping clear up a little confusion on a previous experience. We will be back for sure.

Such a disappointment. This is the worst Japanese food, my husband and I have ever tried, it is tasteless.

Not great. We came in around 3:30pm for an early dinner. Our food seemed old like it was leftover from lunch. My tonkatsu was dry and very fast food like. Yuck. Our tuna sashimi was ok. Salad dressing was gross. Not impressed especially for the price. Take the parkway and go across town to Tomo for amazing food. We won't be back to this place. read more

For Bend I would recommend this place. Product on plates did not let me down. Their 'dynamite' app (which came out last due to cooking) was one of the best things I've put in my mouth. Some of it did get over charred and a couple scallops were unedible, maybe next time could scoop out mistake, cover patch and hit with a torch? Service was great. Overall I would still recommend and will be coming back read more

Best sushi in town! The sushi rolling staff is excellent. The owner is great. The quality is amazing. The server Meryl on the other hand has treated my friends and family very poorly for as long as we have gone. We will continue to go here but our experience is always dampened when she is working. read more

Love their spicy chicken and tempura shrimp roll! Great service also. We've been eating here for years and know the staff and they always take good care of us. It's also clean which I look for in a restaurant! read more

Good service and prices. Sushi was okay. The rice wasn't very sticky so it made for messy eating.

Really good sushi. Love their mango roll, smokey vegas, broken top are some of my favorites.

I am extremely disappointed with Shinsei. I recently started eating Sushi, and highly enjoyed it elsewhere- so was super excited to learn there was a Sushi bar not far from my work. Only to find out it was closed for renovations- fine, except the re-open date was set for the 15th, the 15th rolls around-- now it's extended to the next Wednesday (The 24th), the 24th rolls around- now the re-open date is the 27th. If that weren't enough to deter me- when they finally did re-open. I went in and the service is just ridiculous. I ordered two Alaskan rolls, which didn't take long at all- so that was good, but they came in the same container. I went back to the counter and everyone just blankly stared at me for a while before I said "sorry, this is for two people can I get two containers?" to which the girl behind the counter said nothing, took the bag and put them in separate containers. No "have a nice day" or anything when I left. Fast forward to today- last chance I'm giving this place. I show up to get another order to go, expecting the same time frame as before- order my food, pay- then I'm informed it's going to take 25 min... Wha?! ..For what? It's a to go order... it shouldn't take long at all. Again service is poor, everyone there looks like someone killed their hamster- except ONE of the chefs who was super welcoming and friendly. Also, the way the roll was cut was really strange, instead of between each type of fish (got the rainbow roll) it's cut with half and half on some- which is not my cup of tea, I'd like to eat them each separately. The "real" crab meat also tastes like something out of a can. I really don't think I'll be going there again. read more

We had sushi tonight. The presentation was nice and the salmon was to die for. Or waitress was great and put up with my elderly parents. I would recommend this restaurant to all sushi lovers. read more

Food is amazing, but this place needs to work On its customer service. My waitress was more interested in having her own side conversations then being attentive to her guest. What a shame! read more

Such a fabulous place! We love spending date night here - they have an awesome happy hour Monday-Friday!

Fresh ingredients and great service. What more can i say. It is conveniently located off highway 97 in the Cascades Village shopping mall. A great place to stop after a round of golf or skiing. The servers are friendly and attentive. A good variety of fresh and local ingredients. Yay for Shinsei! read more

Very unimpressive. Whoever decided on the sushi menu is in love with crab. Most rolls are just crab topped with something. I ordered a spicy tuna roll and some salmon nigiri (I know, boring selections but the menu didn't look all that good). I am not sure how they were able to remove all taste from their food but they succeeded. In other words, bland, bland, bland. The only reason it's getting 2 instead of 1 star is that it hasn't made me sick.....yet. read more

Stopped on my way through town. I had been on the road for several hours and didn't want to eat something like McDonald's or gas station food so I found this on yelp. Called to place my order and found out the item I had wanted was not available. Had to call back once I looked at the menu again to decide what I wanted. Came in to pick up my orderand it was ready when I arrived which is always nice to have happen. As I paid for my order the young man running the till - I say that not is an old person but I someone that knows he was probably A teenager and at most barely 18, asked me if I wanted my change back... As a former waitress myself this was very offputting to be asked if I wanted my money back on A to go order. FYI you may want to tell your waitstaff to train the new guys on The etiquette behind being a receiver of tips. Food was substantial and adequate. I had ordered the miso and a side of vegetable tempura which had a good variety. I would stop again but hope they learn to update their webpage as well as update their staff. read more

Shinsei has good food at a reasonable price. From my experience, I usually go when it's packed, and I still get seated quickly, and get served in good time. The place has a positive attitude about it that makes you want to go back. read more

This place rocks. Great fresh sushi. Good portions and excellent service Highly recommend if you are visiting Bend or if you live here. One of the best in town!! read more

I want to like this place as it's closer to home and reasonably priced... however it proves that great sushi can't be had at reasonable prices yet in bend. This is good sushi, fish is fresh and rolls are well prepared. This price point would get you mind blowing sushi in many other places. It is as good as you'll find here in bend without heading to 5 spice and doubling your bill (which is totally worth it btw). I'll probably be back, but I'll probably whine about it. read more

Been to this place during the holiday break. Location is very convenient inside a shopping mall. But the place is much better than you would expect from shopping mall restaurant. Creative sushi menu, great service. read more

Love the Bend roll and the miso soup! Great service! We particularly love that they always seem cheery and happy to see us even when the restaurant is hoppin'! read more

We are big fans of Juno's Sushi but decided to try this place due to the reviews. I am embarrassed to say that this place is VERY equal, if sometimes not better, than Junos. We really like the fact that it is just 4 miles from us which is very handy for a quick trip in from our farm for a nice meal after dark. We are regular customers. Another plus is that they are service dog friendly! read more

I was very pleased with the quality of the rolls I had and with the service. It's conveniently located close to lots of stores and off the main highway. Will definitely revisit. read more

Went here for lunch and costumer service was amazing. However the food was not good. I got a spicy tuna roll and shrimp tempura roll, my usual order at any sushi place. The spicy tuna was mostly rice, with some tuna and a weird chili paste. I had to dissect a roll to even find where the 'spicy' came from. No flavor, not good. The shrimp tempura was even worse.... completely soggy. No crunch, just soggy fried tempura. So disappointed for the amount of money I paid. read more

Wish we would have gone somewhere else. Calamari was rubbery, edamame had visible brown spots, and we left half of our sushi untouched as it had absolutely no flavor. Our server spent most of the time we were there behind the counter, trying to hide that she was on her phone. The chef behind the counter was pleasant. But we will never return. read more

I have the worst cold and feel like I have been so taken care of! I came in here for simply just a cup of miso and hot green tea. I ended up getting an Alaska roll which was fabulous! My waiters were the sweetest and presented natural customer service. This sushi restauaunt is my now favorite place. Will be returning in the future! Thank you for being so kind! Your staff, Elizabeth & Glen has such good energy & made my day! (: read more

I've been here three times now for lunch. A little slow but I'd say well worth the wait!

Terrible food, and terrible service! Wish we would've enjoyed it because we live so close.

I don't take it lightly to say this: Worst place I have been for Sushi in the whole world ! I sat at the bar and the fish in the trays were in disarray / chaotic and not really yummy looking. So I thought to order some easy rolls to get started. After a very long wait, while I watched some guy sweeping the floor behind the bar and another one dancing around like a clown and acting goofy without doing anything except holding everyone up, I received something on a plate that I myself would not have the guts to serve to a guest.One should have been a shrimp tempura roll and one King California Hand Roll. What a nightmare. It looked like a kid made this. The first time. Unidentifiable. No taste of anything. I must say that the employees are the kind who should not be working in such a facility but maybe try their luck somewhere else. Wasabi and ginger on request ! And served in a way and amount that one can tell it was mixed together from previous orders ! Yuk. I planned to order several rolls but obviously quit after the two I already had received. The chop stick are getting used over and over again. I am sure they get washed but they do look very used. Not a good idea with wooden sticks. This place is a joke and their food prepared without any love, pride or respect for the customer. I don't understand how a place like this stays in business. A shame and total insult to the Japanese cuisine. Don't t do this to yourself, there are other places in Bend that might be worth a try. read more

The food was really good.. However, the service was terrible... we had to ask for wasabi, then didn't see our waitress again! There were 4 working, 6 customers and the waitresses were outside talking.... not sure I will go back!! Disappointed read more
